I don't know where GM got those horsepower and torque figures from, edmunds ran a dyno test on both cars and the bimmer's power was accurate at 240hp when tested repeatedly, it's torque figures are also close at 257 foot pounds but the ATS's figures on the other hand are very inflated, the ATS's horsepower is 239 and its torque is 252 foot pounds. Cadillac's only advantage enginewise according to Edmunds is better refinement and a smoother power delivery which strangely is the exact opposite of what this review by car and driver reveals.
